Plot Summary for Constantine (2005): “Based on the DC/Vertigo comic book Hellblazer and written by Kevin Brodbin, Mark Bomback and Frank Capello, Constantine tells the story of irreverent supernatural detective John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), who has literally been to hell and back. When Constantine teams up with skeptical policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to solve the mysterious suicide of her twin sister (also played by Weisz), their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldy events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.”

“The bench-pressing is going swimmingly as well, or at least it was until Elmo decided to jump on my stomach, scaring the shit out of me in mid-lift and causing me to drop the weights directly onto my boobs.

I think that’s why people have spotters.

Thankfully no permanent damage was inflicted. It’s a damn good thing I don’t have breast implants, because they surely would have rocketed right out of my mouth, shot across the room, and broken a couple of windows. ”

“SPONGEBOB CREATOR SLAMS GAY CLAIMS
SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg has slammed suggestions that his yellow cartoon character is gay, insisting the loveable sponge is ‘asexual.’
A children’s music video starring SpongeBob, Barney, Winnie the Pooh and a host of other cartoon favorites has been slapped with a gay alert warning by Christian Conservative groups.
The video was created by nonprofit We Are Family Foundation to encourage tolerance and diversity, but has been met with disapproval by American Family Association and Focus on the Family, who claim the promo promotes acceptance of homosexuality.
However Hillenburg has laughed off the right wing groups’ suggestions, saying, ‘It doesn’t have anything to do with what we’re trying to do. We never intended them to be gay.
‘I consider them to be almost asexual. We’re just trying to be funny and this has got nothing to do with the show.’ “

I found out that ATT/Cingular are going to start charging .25 for each incoming text message (even the ones they SPAM you with) they refuse to disable the function and I told them they could take their phone and shove it.
I have a GSM phone, is there anyone else who uses GSM networks that isn’t this much of an asshole to deal with? Let me know.
(and also, if there’s a class action lawsuit I could get into for this kind of blatant ass-raping, let me know as well. I wouldn’t mind putting them out of business. MCI Worldcom pissed me off like this and look what happened to them?)

you know, after coffee is nice.

The stripping off the top layer of skin from my mouth from the chewy coffee (and I warmed the cream, too), a wifi connection in the kitchen (turned off the WEP encryption, my little VAIO doesn’t seem to like it, MAC addresses will have to do… and might I say, hooray for Pre-N routers!) and a trashy Spanish tabloid to read (no I don’t understand ALL the words… French is my really good language, I can get by (and get drunk) in Spanish though.

Nice start to the day.

Today is going to be laid back, I’ve decided.
I need to buy another director’s chair for extra seating. The other foldout chair I have are starting to give up the ghost. I might run by Trader Joe’s for more green beans (I’ve been making them incessantly since mom made them at xmoose dinner-not from a can either. A wee bit of sugar and 2 slices of bacon. Yum.)
The house is clean(ish), the dust bunnies aren’t rampantly flowing in herds across the plains of my living room (it doesn’t take much for that to happen, don’t’ make me out out be a bad housekeeper. When you have 7 bazillion foot hair and a BunnyCat who can keep up with angora rabbits with the best of them, its a n ongoing battle. Just ask my poor beleaguered ShopVac.) and I have a goodly amount of non-junk food ready to go in the fridge.
I think I’ll plant those crocuses, too.

They need a translater from “Fredlet before coffee to English” button.
There’s no need to go back again, I do remotely grasp English before coffee, but that mostly is just irritation based translation problems. Pretty much if you are trying to communicate to me before I have coffee, I’m just snarly and unpleasant.

Jeebus. My hair gets everywhere.
I just found a wad of it in my back pocket.

Oh cool. I just saw a billboard for a movie based on the graphic novel ‘John Constantine’ with keanu reeves…
Most excellent.

Daily Horoscope for January 28, 2004
You have some financial concerns and are not getting much support today from your significant other. In fact, you may be feeling a bit taken for granted. You need to open up and share your concerns. It’s not easy to talk about money, but it will help in the end.”

my hands HURT.
much like carpal tunnel, but probably RSI.

A package I tried to mail the other day was refused by the local carrier again, she finally, under specific questioning was able to verbalize WHY she couldn’t take the package through a series of grunts and stick figures.
I hate it when people just can’t tell me the truth. Don’t make up a bunch of shit to make yourself sound good when you are doing things for a completely different reason.
Just tell me why and get the hell out of my face.

Yes, I am a joy to behold.
My arms hurt , my hands burn and I have to go socialize tonight…. but if one more bad thing happens I won’t go and subject myself to hordes of people…. I’ll go home and pet my BunnyCat.

she was up this morning as usual wanting water from the tap when she started meowing at me. Her right paw was held up in the air like she got water on it…but she didn’t shake it or anything just mewed and held it there.
I walked over and petted her, she started purring but still held her paw up in the air and was a little shaky.
I checked her leg and she seemed to be ok, maybe it was just a cramp, but I don’t know.
I hope it wasn’t a little seizure.
She seemed a bit unsteady on her feet, but she purred the whole time I held her and talked to her.
Then she was ok after that, she jumped up on the bed and stared at me like nothing happened.

Not a great start to the day.

I have decided to move from the planet. I’m sorry but I simply cannot remain on a world where Paris Hilton is allowed to publish “memoirs”. The real clincher is that people will buy it, and read it…and think it wonderful and insightful and that “That poor girl just can’t find…whatever.”

I can only hope that the beams will cross and she’ll end up on Dr. Phil so that my vision of hell can become complete. Actually, for that to happen John Tesh would have to be the musical guest.

Thankyouverymuch.

(fake)Bill Clinton Daily Diary: “I met Bill Gates today. He’s donating money to the tsunami relief fund. I tried to get him to donate some money to my AIDS project, but I caught him at the wrong moment. There seems to be something wrong with Microsoft. Just before I talked to him, he had been grilled by journalists. I don’t know much about computers, but it had something to do with leaks in Internet Explorer and viruses. What I gathered from the questions is that Microsoft is losing its dominance, that rivals have products, which don’t attract viruses. If I was a betting man, I would start short selling Microsoft shares.”

replacing Tsunami, because, clearly, an animated allegedly homosexual invented creature is more important and newsworthy than the hundreds of thousands of people affected by a natural disaster.
They’ll probably be saying that SpongeBob instigated the Tsunami with his homosexual allusions.

United Church of Christ News Release: SpongeBob welcomed by UCC: “CLEVELAND — Joining the animated fray, the United Church of Christ today (Jan. 24) said that Jesus’ message of extravagant welcome extends to all, including SpongeBob Squarepants – the cartoon character that has come under fire for allegedly holding hands with a starfish.

‘Absolutely, the UCC extends an unequivocal welcome to SpongeBob,’ the Rev. John H. Thomas, the UCC’s general minister and president, said, only partly in jest. ‘Jesus didn’t turn people away. Neither do we.’

For that matter, Thomas explained, the 1.3-million-member church, if given the opportunity, would warmly receive Barney, Big Bird, Tinky-Winky, Clifford the Big Red Dog or, for that matter, any who have experienced the Christian message as a harsh word of judgment rather than Jesus’ offering of grace.

The UCC’s welcome comes in the wake of laughable accusations by James C. Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, that the popular SpongeBob and other well-known cartoon characters are crossing ‘a moral line’ by stressing tolerance in a national We Are Family Foundation-sponsored video that will be distributed to U.S. schools on March 11, 2005.

Later, an assistant to Dobson called SpongeBob’s participation in the video ‘insidious.’”

And FYI, SpongeBob in Spanish is: Bob Esponja!
